In This War Of Mine you do not play as an elite soldier, rather a group of civilians trying to survive in a besieged city; struggling with lack of food, medicine and constant danger from snipers and hostile scavengers. The game provides an experience of war seen from an entirely new angle.

The pace of This War of Mine is imposed by the day and night cycle. During the day snipers outside stop you from leaving your refuge, so you need to focus on maintaining your hideout: crafting, trading and taking care of your survivors. At night, take one of your civilians on a mission to scavenge through a set of unique locations for items that will help you stay alive.

Make life-and-death decisions driven by your conscience. Try to protect everybody from your shelter or sacrifice some of them for longer-term survival. During war, there are no good or bad decisions; there is only survival. The sooner you realize that, the better.

Key Features:• Inspired by real-life events • Control your survivors and manage your shelter • Craft weapons, alcohol, beds or stoves – anything that helps you survive • Make decisions - an often unforgiving and emotionally difficult experience • Randomized world and characters every time you start a new game • Charcoal-stylized aesthetics to complement the game's theme

The Little Ones:

The newly delivered expansion explores the hardships of wartime survival as seen from an entirely new perspective―that of a child. This DLC puts you in charge of a group of adults and children stuck in a besieged city, struggling with basic necessities. TWoM: The Little Ones focuses not only on the reality of enduring war, but also on how even in times of conflict, kids are still kids: they laugh, cry, play, and see the world differently. In addition to thinking about survival, you'll have to summon your inner child to understand how to protect the little ones. Their youth, and their future, are in your hands.

• Experience the biggest expansion to This War of Mine• Protect innocent children• Craft toys, play with kids, and be the caretaker they need• Meet new adult civilians in scenarios with children

A game that used to cost $20 and yet past purchases aren't being honored for inclusion in the family library?? ..and yet it was sold in a humble mobile bundle drm free.. why not a bit of leeway for people who bought it here instead? It's on sale atm for 99c and there isn't even an option to buy it again so that it's added..we are basically punished for buying it too early on.

I like the game but nothing exciting or new is ever added or updated. Its always the same locations, the players always say the same things, & the items are the same every time. It would be great if there was a lot more to it, but there isnt. You play and complete all of the stories and characters, and then theres no point playing them all over again because theres no end goal, challenge, or reward/ incentive. It isnt worth the time u spend playing it.

The game is great and I could see potential in it. Suggestions: 1. Add fast forward (not straight to night) 2. Allow us to see what's needed for upgrades and stuff without moving a person 3. Can we create bigger bags? 4. More locations and allow multiple scavengers per night. 5. Allow disabling of cloud save

I'm editing my review. To me this is still the best game on mobile, but it's short. Developers, could you add a option to change the amount of days in the game before the cease fire,and could you add more places to scavenge? But besides that, this game is better than some console games! Thank you!

I've played this game on PC and I gotta say, it's a well made port. The only minor complaint I have is that on android, you can't pick your own characters compared to PC. While this might affect the game negatively, I would say it's better this way. Having pre-set characters forces you to utilize characters at their fullest. I must say, bravo devs!

It's pretty expensive but I think it is worthy for its price. I watched it on steam and it's so amazing. Can you please add father's promise too? Sooner or later I'll buy the little ones so I hope there's more I can buy and play on this game. Thanks for reading :)

Played this game for a while and was working fine but now it won't even start. As I can't get a refund because I've had it so long I feel completely ripped off and especially because it was quite expensive. Very unhappy and no dhout no help will be given to me I feel utterly cheated and angry.

It's a great game, juuust after you spend prolly around 3 hours real time stacking and getting weapons just to have your player killed, unable to save n then having to restart to play with all 3 or 4 or 2 players. Plus the hand to hand combat kinda sucks. Real frustrating at times.

So I really looked forward to playing this game - held off for a while due to its steep price tag, but finally took the plunge for what I hoped would be a satisfying emotional experience. Was really disappointed when the game presented me with a loading screen on the top left hand corner, and proved otherwise unresponsive. I think there may be issues playing this on the google pixel.

I bought this game 2 days ago it is very hard and i have lost several times but i have been spreading the word about this game. It is beautiful,tugs at ur heartstrings and it gives u some really hard but all too real choices in the game. Please if u guys add some places to scavenge that would b cool

I absolutely love it! Worth every penny I spent to support this amazing developers. Its a game that has emotions too it, that's something that I believe is lacking to most survival games today. You don't just kill and kill, with these game you suffer realistic consequences of every action you make. Do something nice to others your survivors will feel good about it, kill innocent people, and you'll leave them sad or depressed. Even worse they might even want to kill themselves! Haha definitely and amazing war simulation game, hands down to the devs and really hoping for more updates soon 💕

You've got a member of your party injured and ill... Your best scavenger, at that... You've got no medicine, no bandages... You know the old couple on the next block has food... medicine... bandages... No weapons... Do you affect your entire teams morale by robbing the defenseless? Or risk a life and gamble scavenging? Amazing, gritty brutal game where every choice could be life or death...

Awesome game, fairly realistic gameplay that requires you to use common sense for survival. Gets your blood pumping when hiding from thieves just before robbing them blind....Top 3 of game Apps I've played

Worth every penny I spent. Nice to see a dark and gritty game about war that isn't focused on the soldiers, But about the survival in a war torn city. Also the pencil sketch graphics are amazing. 10/10 well done

$15 for a mobile app is absurdly expensive and to add insult to injury, it's broken too. The game only loads properly once on a fresh install, or data deletion. Subsequent attempts to load the game fail with the title screen displaying off-centre and the app unresponsive. The only thing that seems to correct the problem is to delete all of the app's data (cache and user data) starting from scratch. Certainly not what one would expect of such an expensive phone app. Pathetic.

Well I wrote a huge review of this last night but for some reason it is gone. So I will keep it short. The game is easy and short. I finished it on my second try and in a few hours. I feel ripped off for the money I spent. The game is pretty and all but it isn't worth the money. I wish I could have my money back. I am sad, and not for the reason the developer intended.

Amazing and addictive game but way too short!! You don't even have the time and resources to upgrade or to craft anything decent in your shelter.. So dev, please either make it last longer or decrease the amount of resources needed to upgrade and craft, or increase the amount of loot that can be carried or allow more than one survivor to go out scavenge.. It is very frustrating not to be able to use all workshops and components/functionality from this game.. Would be a 5 stars otherwise!!

I love this game so much that i bought the little ones DLC, hoping for more DLCs in the future. I have one tiny problem though, at the end of the war part, my game kept restarting instead of letting me see the end of the war and the epilogue so I couldn't find a fix so I installed this on my tablet, both was sync so I figured if I sync it back I'll get my progress. Well I did get it in my tablet, finished the game there and started a new one. Turns out even if it gets sync in the tablet, i cant get my progress from my tablet to my smartphone. I still keep going back to day 42, so what I did was i cleared the data and tried to sync it again and still lost all my progress and also my unlocked characters. What do I do?

This game is awesome in all the wrong ways. Got about a week in and the food couldn't keep up with the people, so I decided to kill one of them off. I immediately felt like a horrable person so I restarted.

This game has a unique gameplay and storyline, it depicts a perfect situation in wartime when many people lost their homes, families, and hopes due the civil war, they are forced to hurt others, steal, or scavange for the sake of survival, they gathering together to make a small group. Dividing each characters based on their own special ability, defending their homes and belongings from armed looters, and don't expect to get one of your character back when he/she died.

Beautiful graphics, smooth texture, and simple controls make up only half of this game. This War of Mine delivers a message that war can change anyone. Some will turn to murderer's, or have their slate clean throughout the war. With the different strangers that walk to your door, to the cold-blooded killers out there ready to shoot you down. It reminds us that, then, that war has an affect on everyone, not just you, transforming us into the true animals that we probably are. With Death waiting around every corner for these special survivors, one can only imagine the amount of stars they will receive for such beautiful gameplay and a astounding, heart-tugging story.

Edit 2: Since the new update (which I love, the new options are great) I've been noticing a lot of glitches. The worse one is, after I paid Karel to smuggle us out, when he comes to pick us up to leave, the game completely crashes. Happened 6 times in a row. I even tried turning off my internet and data but it didn't help. It also crashes when the war is over. What is the point of surviving if after all that it's going to crash and you never make it to the end of the war? I'm hoping the devs fix this soon because I was so excited about the new options but it's now become frustrating and anticlimactic. Still really love the game but it feels unplayable for the time being. The Karel bug wasn't the only one I struggled with, but it was the biggest. (End edit) Recently reinstalled the game and now it won't load. It gets past the Hemingway quote then the music plays on a black screen until it crashes. Hate to give a bad review because I love this game but I'm not even able to play it. Edit: I figured it out, it's an issue with the cloud. If I take my device offline completely I can play it fine. I think if the cloud is not going to work they should put an in game option not to use it. Otherwise it's perfect.

I've played this game since i bought it at the discounted price ( cause the currency exchange, in my country it'll cost about 60bucks, so mea culpa to the others who bought it at a higher price ) so my only comment is that can the devs add more scenarios like fathers promise and new characters and locations ar good too. I can't help but notice there's only two types of shelter, if it's possible to add more, i'd recommend that too. I may have bought the game at discounted price but i have no qualms buying the DLC, so please, do update the game as it is getting surprisingly boring. Thanks devs !! Great game and storyline, keep up the good work..just remember, some of us can't spend many hours on computers or laptops.

I emailed their tech support and they said there is a bug with Android 8.0 that they're working on. The work around they told me was to launch the game while holding your phone in landscape position and have auto-rotation enabled. I'm changing my rating to 4 stars based on the quick and helpful response from tech support

I loved this game I've been playing it for a year now but for whatever reason when I redownload the app it won't let me play rather the screen is stuck on the left hand corner and I'm unable to click on any fo the settings on the main screens. I'm on Google pixel if that helps

This game not only satisfies but also tells a meaningful story along the way. I liked the end screen.

Masterpiece... but minus 1 star for bad optimalisation. On flagship device it is lagging in "constraction site" & church. Game have potential to be much longer but instead it's so short that upgrading everything to max is impossible.
